Uniti- Glass illuminated bar

And my toddler poked the centre cap of the new speaker within a second of it coming out of the box so that's going for repairs! Still, the look on his face far far outweighs the downside. He absolutely loved it, and that's before The Wheels on the Bus has been played.

I presume the bar is glued on - I'm sure your dealer will sort it.

A familiar story - speaker grilles on for the next few years, then!!

From a cursory look, it only appears to be stuck in a couple of places . Further investigation required and grilles firmly on place...

Unlucky - had the same on my bass units of my old speakers. In my case, PMC had obviously considered this scenario and helpfully provided vented pole pieces so the process of centre cap restoration was achieved quite easily in the end

I'm intrigued, what is a vented pole piece?!

A hole going through the magnet.

So the hole is put there specially so that you can stick a pencil down it to push your dome back into shape? How thoughtful of them, is there a hole in the back of the cabinet too?

It allows air to vent from the airspace behind the dust cap, supposedly to reduce distortion at high cone excursions, but yes it also allows easy correction of child induced accidents. Happy days. 

I'm not sure that the delivery man is to blame.

Have a read of the comment made on the "An awful mistake?" thread. Apparently it is stuck on with tape.

Ah it does look like it's stuck on with tape . The gate is about 5 feet tall and it's only opened remotely and there was no one to open it, hence the suspicion it was lobbed over the top . Anyway, it does look like there are a couple of bits of tape remaining above the logo which sends like it will eventually dry out. I'll check out the thread...

The problem with the Naim logo bar is known about by Naim according to my dealer, I cannot believe that a premium manufacture thinks adhesive tape is an effective build method. I would have expected it to be fastened with clips or screws. I shall be off the the dealership to 'resolve' the issue. Even when re-stuck I could not have confidence in this method of fixing

Am I right to assume NAIM has a bit of a Quality problem with the new UNITI line?

Pushed-in speaker dust-caps, and domes on tweeters, can often be restored using a foot to18 inches of appropriately sized tubing - for a friend’s dome tweeters pushed in by his children I found that 19mm plastic ‘overflow’ drain pipe worked well, fitting just within the dome’s concentric suspension. Ensure the end is evenly cut and smoothly finished (can use sandpaper), carefully offer it up to the dome, holding it steady, and suck the other end of the tube. Not likely to work on an open-weave fabric dust-cap, however a bit of adhesive tape wrapped around a finger might assist there.

As for logo bars etc, I believe it is far from uncommon for ashesive to be used, whether on amps or other things like cars - maybe the tape Naim used was the wrong one, or faulty in some way.

Well, all credit to the parties involved. Peter Tyson will be collecting the faulty model and replacing it with a brand new one from an address convenient to me next week. I'm very happy with that as it means Mrs R won't have to wait around, but I will have to lug it in to work!

Take care with the replacement model and check with Naim that the problem is solved as I understand current production has been a problem as regards adhesive tape

Yes that'll be the first think I try when I get it home!
